Barella's Form Worrying Inter and Italy

Inter and Italy are growing increasingly concerned about Nicolò Barella's dip in form, which has seen him score only once this season.

Barella finished his Champions League campaign without a goal or assist, leading to scrutiny from Tuttosport. Reports indicate Inter might listen to offers for the midfielder next summer, while Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso is reportedly 'concerned' by his decline.

His struggles are highlighted by a drop from nine goals and ten assists in 2022-23 to just one goal this season. The dip in form casts doubt on his inclusion for the World Cup play-off.
